Reaching out from Grand Lake Community Chapel

Greetings in Christ!
Christ is Risen! He is Risen, Indeed!! On this 25th day of the Easter season, the message is as strong and meaningful as it was on the first day; we are able to live freely and fully because of the Resurrection. As spring continues to work its magic in nature, Christ continues to work his magic in our lives.
But just as nature benefits from our good stewardship of the earth, air, and water by cleaning up after ourselves and not overwhelming Creation through overuse and abuse, our divine souls can benefit from good stewardship. Spiritual stewardship actually looks quite a bit like earthly stewardship, in that we should avoid littering our souls with unhelpful thoughts, and clean things up if we fall prey to temptation. Spiritual stewardship sometimes requires significant effort to repair damage to relationships, just as earthly stewardship sometimes requires significant effort to heal a lake or stream that has been harmed by pollution. Sometimes spiritual stewardship is as simple as saying “I’m sorry,” which oddly can be the hardest thing to do, just as earthly stewardship is sometimes as simple as picking up a piece of trash. As we look forward to the next 25 days of Easter, it might be good to see if there is any cleanup to do in our faith lives.
Blessings,
Karen and Greg

He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth
and renewal by the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5
